    COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS of CRAYFISH MARKETING in SELECTED MARKETS of AKWA IBOM and ABIA STATES, NIGERIA Simonyan, J.B Michael Okpar

    COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CRAYFISH MARKETING IN SELECTED MARKETS OF AKWA IBOM AND ABIA STATES, NIGERIA Simonyan, J.B Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Department of Agricultural Economics PMB 7267, Umudike Abia State, Nigeria. E mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study was on comparative analysis of crayfish marketing in some selected markets of Akwa Ibom and Abia states of Nigeria. It specifically looked at market integration, costs and return, marketing margin, marketing efficiency and factors influencing marketing efficiency in both states. Data were collected from 60 respondents (30 from each state). Data analyses were carried out with the use of such statistical tools like bivirate analysis, efficiency ratio, marketing margin and regression analysis. The results show that selling and purchasing prices had weak correlation between the markets in Akwa Ibom and Abia states, implying low level of market integration. Costs and return analysis showed a net return of N 16, 816.42 and N 35, 734, 50 for Akwa Ibom and Abia states respectively. This implies that crayfish marketing is more profitable in Abia state. Marketing margin in Akwa Ibom and Abia state was 9.58 and 15.01 respectively, while the marketing efficiency was 8.29 and 13.31 respectively in the states. The results call for policies aimed at provision of infrastructural facilities to reduce transportation cost and marketers encouraged to increase the level of crayfish marketing because it is lucrative, thereby meeting up with the increasing demand for protein. Keywords: Comparative Analysis, Crayfish, Marketing, Market Integration INTRODUCTION Recently, the price of animal protein has been on the increase, causing people with average income to settle for cheap sources of protein like crayfish and fish and this has caused a high demand for crayfish among the populace.
  • The Significance of the Immunity Clause for Democratic Consolidation in Nigeria

    The Significance of the Immunity Clause for Democratic Consolidation in Nigeria

    African Journal of Criminology and Justice Studies: AJCJS, Vol.6, #s1 &2 November 2012 ISSN 1554-3897 THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE IMMUNITY CLAUSE FOR DEMOCRATIC CONSOLIDATION IN NIGERIA Olaoye, Ebenezer Olugbenga (Ph.D.), Department of Political Science, Ekiti State University, Nigeria Abstract This paper interrogates the relevance of the constitutional provisions on immunity for certain categories of elected political-office holders to the quest for democratic consolidation in Nigeria. It traces the history of immunity for political office-holders to the 1963 Republican Constitution and examines the rationale or justification for its inclusion in Nigerian constitutions. On the strength of evidences from case studies from Nigeria’s Second (1979 to 1983) and Fourth Republic (1999 till present), the paper notes that, while the original intention for its inclusion in the Nigerian constitution was good, politicians have used the clause to the detriment of democracy. For this reason, the constitutional provisions on immunity have become a threat to the consolidation of Nigeria’s nascent democracy. Rather than throw away the baby with the birth-water, the paper recommends a review of the provisions to take cognizance of the need for transparency, accountability and good governance while ensuring that political chief executives are not unduly constrained in the performance of their constitutional duties. In this way, the paper concludes, the excesses of elected political chief executives can be curbed while Nigerians can reasonably expect to reap more dividends of democracy now and in the future. Introduction: The Concept of Immunity The concept of ‘immunity’ originated from a Latin word ‘immunitas’ which the ancient Romans used in describing the exemption of an individual from service or duty to the State (Silverstein, 1999:19).

Department of history and strategic studies Federal university ndufu-alike, ikwo, ebonyi state Abstract This paper considers the symbolism of kolanut according to Igbo worldview. How kolanut helps to shape the people‘s philosophical ideology especially, in relation to religion. The roles of kolanut within the Igbo socio-cultural context and the values attached to these roles will be examined. The roles of kolanut as a means of socialization, education and transmission of cultural values from the preceding to succeeding generations will come under consideration. Equally, this paper looks at the traditional rules regarding not only the uses but more essentially the mode of kolanut presentation, blessing, breaking and sharing of kolanut. How these rules and kolanut have persisted in the face of social and cultural changes which have affected the Igbo people shall be reviewed. The roles played by kolanut in Igbo religion will come under study, this is to correct some of the misconceptions by writers who are motivated by Eurocentric idealism but quite oblivious of the Igbo cultural setting and the place of kolanut in it. The onslaught of Western civilization causing the change of attitude among the young generation towards kolanut as a vital aspect of our culture tends to pose a threat to the future and survival of kolanut.
